WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.880 Well, I'm glad that you are all here. 00:00:02.880 --> 00:00:03.380 Welcome. 00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:11.540 I really appreciate you joining me for this time to discuss Divine Mercy University's master's in psychology program. 00:00:12.015 --> 00:00:13.395 My name is Greg Shapiro. 00:00:13.455 --> 00:00:18.515 I'm the, admissions representative for this program in particular. 00:00:19.295 --> 00:00:21.475 We're just gonna go over the program details. 00:00:22.415 --> 00:00:26.260 As I'm going through this, feel free to drop your questions in here. 00:00:26.260 --> 00:00:28.600 I'll do my absolute best to answer them immediately. 00:00:29.060 --> 00:00:32.920 If I don't get to them right away, we'll certainly cover them. 00:00:33.860 --> 00:00:38.500 So to begin, I'm just gonna go to the second slide. 00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:46.025 And just to make sure you can all see this first slide where it says opportunities for master of science and psychology graduates. 00:00:47.445 --> 00:00:48.325 Is that right? 00:00:48.325 --> 00:00:50.485 Any anyone can answer yes. 00:00:50.485 --> 00:00:51.545 Just wanna confirm. 00:00:54.410 --> 00:00:54.810 Alright. 00:00:54.810 --> 00:00:55.370 There we go. 00:00:55.370 --> 00:00:56.430 Thank you so much. 00:00:57.450 --> 00:00:57.770 Alright. 00:00:57.770 --> 00:01:00.590 Well, I'm gonna go to the second slide. 00:01:01.210 --> 00:01:07.185 And just to begin with Divine Mercy University, we're located in Sterling, Virginia. 00:01:07.725 --> 00:01:13.025 So we're about thirty five minutes outside of Washington, DC, and I only know that because I live in DC. 00:01:13.165 --> 00:01:16.465 So it takes me about thirty five minutes to get here on campus. 00:01:17.180 --> 00:01:20.540 And we are comprised of two different schools. 00:01:20.540 --> 00:01:26.380 So we have the school of counseling, which, involves the master's in counseling program. 00:01:26.380 --> 00:01:27.760 This is a hybrid program. 00:01:28.060 --> 00:01:32.000 And then we have the Institute for the Psychological Sciences. 00:01:32.815 --> 00:01:36.195 And this would involve the PsyD in clinical psychology. 00:01:36.495 --> 00:01:39.555 This one would be, fully on campus. 00:01:39.855 --> 00:01:45.475 But then the one that we're gonna be discussing is the master's in psychology program, which is fully online. 00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:54.500 And just to give you a little bit of a backstory, we began in 1999 just under Institute for the Psychological Sciences or IPS. 00:01:55.440 --> 00:02:02.515 And then in 2014, I believe, we added the school of counseling, and, that's where we are today. 00:02:03.455 --> 00:02:05.555 So I will continue on. 00:02:07.215 --> 00:02:10.415 And this second slide just gonna move this. 00:02:10.415 --> 00:02:11.315 There we go. 00:02:11.375 --> 00:02:14.755 So the second slide, I just wanna highlight the accreditation. 00:02:15.330 --> 00:02:21.910 So we are accredited through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. 00:02:22.450 --> 00:02:25.030 So this is one of the six major accrediting bodies. 00:02:25.410 --> 00:02:30.095 Just as an example, we share the same accreditation with Duke University, for instance. 00:02:31.035 --> 00:02:37.935 If you ever wanted to look into, our credentials, you can go to chia,chea,.org. 00:02:38.475 --> 00:02:45.070 This is where students can always just confirm the accreditation of the university and we're recognized in there. 00:02:45.450 --> 00:02:48.730 And with that, we're also approved to operate by SHEV. 00:02:48.730 --> 00:02:52.750 That's the State Council of Higher Education in Virginia. 00:02:53.545 --> 00:02:59.385 So the Psy b program, which has been around since 2006, is APA accredited. 00:02:59.385 --> 00:03:03.005 So it does prepare for licensure as a clinical psychologist. 00:03:03.305 --> 00:03:05.245 Again, that's for the Psy b program. 00:03:05.785 --> 00:03:08.205 So that's the doctoral program that we offer. 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.540 And I'm just gonna continue down. 00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:18.260 And now let's get into specifically the master's in psychology program, which is why you're all here. 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:24.500 So to begin, as I mentioned, this program in particular is 100% online. 00:03:24.995 --> 00:03:28.775 It doesn't require you to do any sort of traveling to our campus. 00:03:28.995 --> 00:03:32.915 There are no sort of residencies or field experience connected to it. 00:03:32.915 --> 00:03:37.015 You could be a hermit from beginning to end and still complete your degree with us. 00:03:37.395 --> 00:03:43.380 And as I mentioned as well, we are regionally accredited through, through SACSCOC. 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:48.320 And then this program is also 36 credit hours. 00:03:48.320 --> 00:03:57.095 So 30 of those credit hours are geared specifically towards psychology, and six of the credit hours are toward philosophy and theology. 00:03:58.035 --> 00:04:01.875 And then with this program, it is required that you have a baccalaureate degree. 00:04:01.875 --> 00:04:07.575 So at least a mass at least a bachelor's with a 2.5 GPA to apply. 00:04:08.980 --> 00:04:12.420 And this is also what we would call a helping degree. 00:04:12.420 --> 00:04:13.720 It's for helping professionals. 00:04:14.500 --> 00:04:22.685 So whether you're already in the field but you want to add to your credentials, then, this degree is certainly useful for that. 00:04:22.685 --> 00:04:25.665 It's also great for those that are consecrated religious. 00:04:26.045 --> 00:04:31.585 So maybe they want to, add to their vocation in doing that. 00:04:31.805 --> 00:04:33.885 It is a non licensure program. 00:04:33.885 --> 00:04:36.260 So this program does not prepare you for licensure. 00:04:36.320 --> 00:04:42.340 It does prepare you to maybe go into nonlicensure fields or to add on to your credentials. 00:04:43.440 --> 00:04:45.440 And then also, I see some questions coming in. 00:04:45.440 --> 00:04:47.300 I'll make sure that I get those answered. 00:04:47.760 --> 00:04:55.255 This is also a you to begin with, Divine Mercy, we are rooted in the Catholic Christian teachings of the human person. 00:04:55.555 --> 00:05:02.615 So we do implement that Catholic Christian recognition into our, into our curriculum. 00:05:02.915 --> 00:05:05.010 So it is embedded in there as well. 00:05:05.570 --> 00:05:07.910 So I see a few questions coming in. 00:05:09.250 --> 00:05:11.430 Is the accreditation accepted nationally? 00:05:11.570 --> 00:05:16.390 So we are regionally accredited, which is typically what you would find within a university. 00:05:17.010 --> 00:05:20.075 We do enroll students from, across the globe. 00:05:20.075 --> 00:05:21.855 We do have students that are international. 00:05:23.115 --> 00:05:26.735 And, again, this program is a nonlicensure program. 00:05:27.115 --> 00:05:42.660 So it wouldn't prepare you necessarily to become licensed in your field, but sometimes I do see that other countries outside of The US might actually recognize it to go into what we would see typically within The US as a licensured, licensed position. 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:48.695 It's always a good idea though to check with your area on what's required for that. 00:05:50.995 --> 00:05:51.495 Okay. 00:05:51.635 --> 00:05:53.555 And my colleague is also answering this. 00:05:53.555 --> 00:05:55.335 I really appreciate that. 00:05:56.195 --> 00:05:57.095 Great questions. 00:05:57.155 --> 00:05:58.115 What jobs could you get? 00:05:58.115 --> 00:05:59.555 I'm gonna go over that as well. 00:05:59.555 --> 00:06:05.540 So we will certainly make sure that your answer is question, question is answered in more detail. 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.260 Before we get to that, I also just wanna highlight the three tracks. 00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.700 So there are three different approaches to this program. 00:06:14.705 --> 00:06:20.005 And, in other words, these are three different speeds to have your program completed. 00:06:20.145 --> 00:06:27.205 So one would be the twenty eight month track, then we have the twenty month track, and the sixteen month track. 00:06:27.760 --> 00:06:36.660 So for the twenty eight month track, students are usually committing about fifteen to seventeen, eighteen hours per week for their study time. 00:06:37.200 --> 00:06:43.060 For the twenty month track, they're usually complete, committing about eighteen to twenty five hours per week. 00:06:43.305 --> 00:06:49.005 And then for the sixteen month track, you're usually committing about twenty five to thirty hours per week. 00:06:49.225 --> 00:06:56.125 So it's always a good idea to just look at what your schedule is and what sort of time commitment you could lend to your program. 00:06:57.050 --> 00:07:09.425 We certainly don't want people to overexert themselves, but we do have different ways of if you do have that open time to have your program, completed at a more expedient pace. 00:07:11.485 --> 00:07:13.665 And I will continue on. 00:07:15.245 --> 00:07:19.345 So program structure and clinical experience. 00:07:19.805 --> 00:07:24.545 So these are just a few of the skills that one could gain from this program. 00:07:24.950 --> 00:07:32.890 And this will also sort of lend an idea of the, just the diversity of how you can implement this degree. 00:07:33.350 --> 00:07:46.625 So one is to deescalate difficult situations, build crisis plans, counsel parishioners or clients, create proper safety measures, effectively manage teams, learn how to budget. 00:07:47.005 --> 00:07:52.785 So as you're seeing, these are, different things that could be applied into all sorts of environments. 00:07:52.925 --> 00:08:07.390 So whether it's within market research analytics or within family social services or case management or within ministry, these are the sort of tools that employers tend to look for. 00:08:09.130 --> 00:08:09.555 Okay. 00:08:09.955 --> 00:08:10.275 Okay. 00:08:10.275 --> 00:08:14.595 And now to go into what jobs you can get with this degree. 00:08:14.595 --> 00:08:15.715 I'm glad that you asked that. 00:08:15.715 --> 00:08:17.255 That's a huge part of this. 00:08:17.475 --> 00:08:21.495 So these are the vocational opportunities, and it's a lot of information. 00:08:22.675 --> 00:08:27.690 But I'll just do some quick highlights here, and you're welcome to take some time to review it. 00:08:28.310 --> 00:08:31.830 But one, of course, is for, parishes and diocese. 00:08:31.830 --> 00:08:35.270 So a lot of people that go into this program are kind of integrated religious. 00:08:35.270 --> 00:08:36.090 They're pastors. 00:08:36.950 --> 00:08:38.730 They work within some form of ministry. 00:08:39.905 --> 00:08:44.245 And along with that, it can also be used within an educational environment. 00:08:44.465 --> 00:09:01.020 So community colleges, being an instructor at a community college for, for psychology or as an educator within a high school environment or continuing to work within higher education as an academic recruiter or adviser, that sort of thing. 00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:04.540 That's where, a few of these options can go into. 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:07.020 Going a little bit further. 00:09:09.105 --> 00:09:13.765 This degree is also useful within local, state, or federal government positions. 00:09:14.385 --> 00:09:28.780 So sometimes within voc rehab, vocational rehabilitation, drug and alcohol specialist, employment counselor, human resource analyst, parole officer, psychology program manager, social service manager. 00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:37.865 A lot of the time within these positions, they do look for those with critical thinking skills, and that's why this degree is so useful there. 00:09:39.445 --> 00:09:44.985 And going forward a little bit more, within child and family service organization. 00:09:45.450 --> 00:09:52.010 So that could be day care agencies, after school programs, you know, that sort of thing. 00:09:52.010 --> 00:09:57.070 It could be within family service worker, child protection worker, child care supervisor. 00:09:57.915 --> 00:10:00.235 It's also work within nonprofits, of course. 00:10:00.235 --> 00:10:07.615 So data analyst or manager, organizational consultant, intervention excuse me, intervention advocate. 00:10:08.475 --> 00:10:13.370 Again, this is just one of a few more options of how students have used their degree. 00:10:19.510 --> 00:10:20.010 Okay. 00:10:21.190 --> 00:10:22.570 And going a little bit more. 00:10:22.790 --> 00:10:39.645 Also, within health care and mental health services, a lot of people look into this degree because they do wanna work within, you know, maybe within private practices or mental health involvement or behavioral counseling, which might involve some sort of certification or training afterwards. 00:10:40.420 --> 00:10:50.760 And for those that wanna work with that population that earned this degree, they're not necessarily looking to further it with licensure, but they still wanna work with these populations. 00:10:50.820 --> 00:10:58.175 And they work under the supervision of a PsyD, like a clinical psychologist or a licensed professional counselor. 00:10:58.635 --> 00:11:01.455 And that's something that this degree can also blend to. 00:11:05.355 --> 00:11:16.790 And lastly, this is also used almost as, you know, looking at it from the standpoint of industrial and organizational psychology. 00:11:17.330 --> 00:11:32.125 So within a business or corporate environment, human resource managers, sometimes they look for those with this degree to fill these positions or advertising agents or market research, employee training, that sort of thing. 00:11:33.385 --> 00:11:39.965 A lot of managerial positions also value a degree within psychology, a graduate degree in this field. 00:11:42.130 --> 00:11:52.470 So before I go on, is there anything else I can answer about the positions one can take, or anything be beyond that that we haven't yet covered? 00:12:00.385 --> 00:12:00.885 Okay. 00:12:01.345 --> 00:12:02.885 And I'm just gonna keep going. 00:12:06.225 --> 00:12:09.925 Feel free to drop your questions as in as we're moving along. 00:12:11.170 --> 00:12:13.190 So in this field, student testimonials. 00:12:13.970 --> 00:12:19.410 So there's a lot of, there's a lot to go into, so I won't read all the all the text. 00:12:19.410 --> 00:12:20.850 I don't wanna bore you with that. 00:12:20.850 --> 00:12:23.830 But it's still nonetheless very important that we do have these available. 00:12:24.045 --> 00:12:27.185 But not only that, we also have an alumni representative. 00:12:27.885 --> 00:12:38.785 And that's actually more of why I keep this in here for you to see because if any of you, you know, one, I'm I'm always happy to go over this in a little bit more detail with you outside of this webinar. 00:12:39.430 --> 00:12:54.570 But if you're also curious about what the position looks like from the perspective of of a student, we do have an ability to get you connected with those that are either actively in the program or have been in the program, have have earned their degree with us. 00:12:55.415 --> 00:12:57.495 So if that's something that you're interested in, let me know. 00:12:57.495 --> 00:12:59.435 I'd be happy to get you connected. 00:13:06.775 --> 00:13:07.275 Okay. 00:13:08.135 --> 00:13:11.480 I'm just checking on these questions. 00:13:16.020 --> 00:13:20.900 Is there a way the school helps to use, help help excuse me. 00:13:20.900 --> 00:13:22.680 Help us to apply to jobs? 00:13:23.385 --> 00:13:24.265 That's a great question. 00:13:24.265 --> 00:13:27.325 So I know that we have an extensive student support service team. 00:13:28.025 --> 00:13:35.245 I don't know if career, that sort of career assistance is in there, but I'm going to find out for you. 00:13:35.305 --> 00:13:37.085 That way, I can get that information. 00:13:38.280 --> 00:13:40.700 And then also okay. 00:13:41.640 --> 00:13:44.760 How many students accomplish this degree every year? 00:13:44.760 --> 00:13:45.880 That's another good question. 00:13:45.880 --> 00:13:54.925 So I don't know what that number is per year, but what I can say is that it is a cohort, based program. 00:13:55.385 --> 00:14:03.645 So usually, each cohort consists of about 12 to 15 students, with every every, professor. 00:14:04.505 --> 00:14:07.565 But I'll also see if I can find that number out for you as well. 00:14:10.970 --> 00:14:11.470 Okay. 00:14:13.930 --> 00:14:14.410 Very good. 00:14:14.410 --> 00:14:16.590 I'm just gonna keep moving down. 00:14:16.810 --> 00:14:18.730 So how to advancing your career? 00:14:18.730 --> 00:14:24.190 Because I know that a lot of people are looking at this degree, again, as a way to advance in what they're currently doing. 00:14:25.155 --> 00:14:28.995 And, I wanted to make sure I covered this with you as well. 00:14:28.995 --> 00:14:33.575 This degree is, you know, I've said this before that it it's a helping degree. 00:14:33.635 --> 00:14:45.040 So a lot of people, even before their degree has officially been earned and they've they haven't yet completed it, they're still use utilizing a lot of the tools that are gained within the program. 00:14:45.420 --> 00:15:00.485 So whether it's implementing your capstone, which I'll go over that with you and this is part of the program, but, implementing parts to what you've written about in your capstone, develop a proposal to get a raise or promotion. 00:15:00.485 --> 00:15:10.185 This is something that even goes along with, with what's found within our curriculum along with even search major career engines to seek a new position. 00:15:11.220 --> 00:15:14.920 This almost goes in partnership with the market research analytics. 00:15:15.780 --> 00:15:20.200 It does help you to pinpoint a little bit more of the positions that you're seeking. 00:15:21.860 --> 00:15:28.835 So this is why so many people do find this degree useful, if they're trying to advance in what they're currently doing professionally. 00:15:32.655 --> 00:15:33.155 Okay. 00:15:33.375 --> 00:15:36.355 And sample capstone titles. 00:15:36.815 --> 00:15:39.215 So, again, the capstone is part of the program. 00:15:39.215 --> 00:15:44.270 This is the extensive written project that every student does toward the end of their program. 00:15:44.890 --> 00:15:50.650 And as a student, you'll have the flexibility to choose the subject that you wanna write about. 00:15:50.650 --> 00:15:59.045 What you'll be doing is taking what you've learned in your program in your, courses that you've taken and implementing it into your subject. 00:15:59.105 --> 00:16:04.485 So these are a few examples how to prevent burnout and a lifetime of missionary work. 00:16:04.730 --> 00:16:10.430 We can retreat on human formation through the introduction of positive psychology and virtues. 00:16:12.010 --> 00:16:17.230 You know, here's a few other options as well, a few other things that people have written about. 00:16:17.765 --> 00:16:30.665 And at the end of the program in fact, at the convention ceremony in the program, when we list your name, we also list out the capstone title that you've tried, chosen to, to focus on. 00:16:33.540 --> 00:16:34.040 K. 00:16:34.260 --> 00:16:37.960 And, again, feel free to continue asking questions. 00:16:38.020 --> 00:16:39.240 I'm gonna keep going. 00:16:40.100 --> 00:16:42.600 I'll certainly get to your questions as we're moving along. 00:16:43.780 --> 00:16:46.040 So is grad school affordable? 00:16:46.340 --> 00:16:50.075 There are different ways on how you can fund your education. 00:16:50.395 --> 00:16:51.755 We do have different scholarships. 00:16:51.755 --> 00:16:53.675 I'll go over this those with you as well. 00:16:53.675 --> 00:16:56.975 We do have, different ways of reducing your tuition. 00:16:57.275 --> 00:17:02.095 But then, also, there are approved veteran funding options for those that are veterans. 00:17:02.540 --> 00:17:03.660 There's federal aid. 00:17:03.660 --> 00:17:10.640 So if you wanted to use financial aid using student loans, you would just fill out a FAFSA application. 00:17:11.500 --> 00:17:13.600 We also have an employer tuition reimbursement. 00:17:13.980 --> 00:17:19.185 Some places are willing to reimburse their employers as they're furthering their education. 00:17:23.325 --> 00:17:24.465 I will continue. 00:17:24.605 --> 00:17:26.705 Looks like there are a couple more questions. 00:17:28.125 --> 00:17:37.320 If someone has a bachelor's or a master's in theology philosophy, will they have to take those six required credits of theology philosophy? 00:17:37.700 --> 00:17:38.740 That's a good question. 00:17:38.740 --> 00:17:46.760 So we wouldn't be able to transfer those courses in just because it is a little bit more unique to Divine Mercy University's, curriculum. 00:17:46.820 --> 00:17:50.575 So those would be considered non transferable courses. 00:17:52.635 --> 00:17:55.275 And another question. 00:17:55.275 --> 00:17:59.275 Does the capstone include a defense or formal presentation? 00:17:59.275 --> 00:18:00.655 That's a good question too. 00:18:00.840 --> 00:18:04.300 So this wouldn't be the same as, like, a thesis or dissertation. 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:06.380 You wouldn't have to do any sort of defense. 00:18:06.840 --> 00:18:10.920 This is more of, a subject that you would like to write about. 00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:18.885 For some people, they wanna go into this field because they're just an example, of course, but they want to work closer with the homeless homeless population. 00:18:19.505 --> 00:18:26.865 So they might focus their capstone on, you know, how they can better communicate with the homeless. 00:18:26.865 --> 00:18:31.640 Maybe something in a more innovative way that hasn't been presented yet within the field. 00:18:32.180 --> 00:18:35.640 But you wouldn't have to do any sort of defending of this presentation. 00:18:37.700 --> 00:18:38.500 Good question, though. 00:18:38.500 --> 00:18:39.720 I'm glad that you asked. 00:18:41.380 --> 00:18:41.880 Okay. 00:18:42.575 --> 00:18:46.675 So in this section, different types of scholarships. 00:18:47.135 --> 00:18:54.355 So we do have, many different options on how we can, reduce your tuition or apply for scholarships. 00:18:55.170 --> 00:18:58.470 As a student, you are able to apply up to three scholarships. 00:18:59.410 --> 00:19:05.970 And, it's always a good idea to see what scholarships we have available, but these are a few of the options that we have. 00:19:05.970 --> 00:19:14.285 We have the Newman scholarship, which can award up to 5,000, faith and hope Scholarship, which can be between 2050%. 00:19:14.585 --> 00:19:19.805 50% is our most, I'd say that's our highest level of scholarship options. 00:19:20.505 --> 00:19:23.565 So it is more, competitive, I'd say. 00:19:23.930 --> 00:19:29.710 But, again, we do have a lot of different opportunities for you to, to get your tuition reduced. 00:19:30.090 --> 00:19:46.575 We also have something called a memorandum of understanding where there are three different tiers on how we can reduce your tuition if you are a consecrated religious, if you work for the diocese or or a Catholic school or within ministry. 00:19:47.675 --> 00:19:49.615 That's another way of how we can do it. 00:19:49.915 --> 00:19:56.530 Or even if you're just a parishioner, at your church, even that could be a way to have your tuition reduced. 00:19:57.150 --> 00:20:04.050 So it all depends on where you are with that, but, we can certainly go over that one on one when we have a chance to do that. 00:20:08.475 --> 00:20:10.955 And for study options. 00:20:10.955 --> 00:20:13.215 So we went over the three different tracks. 00:20:14.315 --> 00:20:18.735 If you remember, the 16 track, the twenty month track, and the twenty eight month track. 00:20:19.355 --> 00:20:31.030 And these are actually three different tuitions that are connected to them because every second term that you take with two courses is reduced by 50%. 00:20:31.410 --> 00:20:43.045 Now, of course, if you have a pretty busy schedule, even though that the sixteen month track, the tuition is reduced, we certainly don't want you to tack on more than is realistic for you. 00:20:43.425 --> 00:20:47.685 However, if you do have that time, this might be very beneficial for you as well. 00:20:47.970 --> 00:20:57.670 But for the sixteen month track, which, again, that means that you're committing about twenty five to thirty hours per week, this one would be 25,530. 00:20:57.730 --> 00:21:00.150 And, again, this is all before any sort of scholarships. 00:21:00.955 --> 00:21:05.615 And then the twenty month track is 26,009 109. 00:21:05.915 --> 00:21:11.215 And then for the twenty eight month track is 28,428. 00:21:12.155 --> 00:21:12.475 Okay. 00:21:12.475 --> 00:21:15.295 And it looks like there are there's another question. 00:21:19.610 --> 00:21:20.090 Okay. 00:21:20.090 --> 00:21:20.410 Great. 00:21:20.410 --> 00:21:23.550 And thank you for my colleague, Evony, for addressing that. 00:21:26.490 --> 00:21:26.990 Good. 00:21:27.450 --> 00:21:27.950 Okay. 00:21:28.010 --> 00:21:29.870 And is grad school affordable? 00:21:31.185 --> 00:21:32.785 Again, we do have different scholarships. 00:21:32.785 --> 00:21:37.045 There are grants available that we have, that are internal that we do award. 00:21:37.505 --> 00:21:39.585 There are also alternative funding options. 00:21:39.585 --> 00:21:49.570 So whether it's private funding, doing a cash plan or agency organizations that do, matching funds, which may be possible for you. 00:21:50.670 --> 00:21:58.270 And then, of course, we also have National Health Service Corps, and, these are for those that might be able to utilize that. 00:21:58.270 --> 00:22:15.560 So that's, if you see on the last one, $50,000 towards students, student loan debt after working three months of a two year agreement in the area designated by the federal as low income or undeserved. 00:22:16.340 --> 00:22:19.800 And that's something that you would have to research to see if you do qualify for that. 00:22:20.660 --> 00:22:23.480 But that is some options that people will use. 00:22:27.675 --> 00:22:30.895 So this takes us to the end of the line. 00:22:31.515 --> 00:22:33.375 But this is my contact information. 00:22:33.515 --> 00:22:37.775 So take a moment to write down my email address. 00:22:38.555 --> 00:22:43.310 That's the one where you see admissions.msp@divinemercy.edu. 00:22:45.210 --> 00:22:50.510 This is my telephone number as well, (703) 705-9118. 00:22:50.810 --> 00:22:51.930 Feel free to call me. 00:22:51.930 --> 00:22:54.510 You're also welcome to text me if you have any questions. 00:22:55.915 --> 00:22:57.195 I see some questions coming in. 00:22:57.195 --> 00:22:59.295 I'll go over that with you as well. 00:22:59.355 --> 00:23:01.995 And then also the, promo code. 00:23:01.995 --> 00:23:08.075 I do wanna highlight this because, typically, there's a 55 application fee, but we can waive that. 00:23:08.075 --> 00:23:12.120 We do have this promo code available for a limited time. 00:23:12.900 --> 00:23:17.700 So it is going to be available up until, let me just check the date. 00:23:17.700 --> 00:23:22.440 So I think it is not this Sunday, but the following Sunday. 00:23:22.865 --> 00:23:31.925 So as long as you apply before, a week from this upcoming Sunday, then you'll be able to use this code to waive that application fee. 00:23:32.465 --> 00:23:36.145 So along with that, I am now happy to take any questions. 00:23:36.145 --> 00:23:37.925 I see there's one that came in. 00:23:39.270 --> 00:23:41.690 Can you explain the Newman Scholarship? 00:23:42.230 --> 00:23:46.570 It has 2,000 off or 50% off. 00:23:46.630 --> 00:23:46.870 Yeah. 00:23:46.870 --> 00:23:52.310 So this is you know, as a student, you would also be connecting with our financial aid department. 00:23:52.310 --> 00:23:56.625 So they'll go over with you, this option in a little bit more detail. 00:23:56.845 --> 00:24:00.705 Let me go up to that because it does go over it a little bit more. 00:24:02.685 --> 00:24:03.165 You know what? 00:24:03.165 --> 00:24:06.365 It it doesn't explain it in great detail, but there is a link for this. 00:24:06.365 --> 00:24:14.690 I'm gonna make sure that, that I get this sent over to you since I have your contact here. 00:24:14.690 --> 00:24:15.010 Good. 00:24:15.010 --> 00:24:15.490 Okay. 00:24:15.490 --> 00:24:17.970 So I'll make sure that that's that's offered to you. 00:24:17.970 --> 00:24:23.250 Unfortunately, I'm a little bit limited on this one as well since I I believe this one might be a little bit newer. 00:24:24.130 --> 00:24:35.295 I think it would be considered more of a competitive one, but this is something that some students will apply for. 00:24:35.435 --> 00:24:36.255 Let's see. 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:39.240 Looks like there might be another question. 00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:40.360 February 21. 00:24:40.360 --> 00:24:40.840 Okay. 00:24:40.840 --> 00:24:41.080 Yep. 00:24:41.080 --> 00:24:51.660 And that's just to give you a little bit more of a heads up, the deadline officially for that promo code that I mentioned is February 21 to get that, application fee waived. 00:24:53.775 --> 00:24:58.995 And with that, is there anything else I can answer? 00:25:01.295 --> 00:25:01.795 Yes. 00:25:01.855 --> 00:25:14.660 And my colleague also wanted to remind that the deadline for the, there's a scholarship that we offer, for 2,000, which is March 1. 00:25:14.660 --> 00:25:20.040 But if you apply before March 1, you would be eligible for that scholarship automatically. 00:25:25.665 --> 00:25:26.165 Right. 00:25:26.305 --> 00:25:26.805 Okay. 00:25:28.785 --> 00:25:33.285 And just to give you a chance if anyone has any other questions. 00:25:42.170 --> 00:25:42.670 Okay. 00:25:43.130 --> 00:25:47.850 Is there a reading list of what program graduates will or I'm sorry. 00:25:47.850 --> 00:25:51.565 What program graduates will have read after the degree? 00:25:58.585 --> 00:26:00.105 Can you can you expand on that question? 00:26:00.105 --> 00:26:02.285 I just wanna make sure I understand what you're asking. 00:26:22.015 --> 00:26:22.995 Oh, gotcha. 00:26:26.895 --> 00:26:27.395 Yes. 00:26:27.455 --> 00:26:28.895 So we do have that list. 00:26:28.895 --> 00:26:34.950 So I'll make sure that we can also get that forwarded to you along with the, that question on the Newman scholarship. 00:26:36.870 --> 00:26:37.190 Yep. 00:26:37.190 --> 00:26:37.690 Absolutely. 00:26:39.030 --> 00:26:39.430 Alright. 00:26:39.430 --> 00:26:41.930 And is there anything else I can answer for you folks? 00:26:54.915 --> 00:26:55.235 Okay. 00:26:55.235 --> 00:26:55.735 Alright. 00:26:55.875 --> 00:26:58.755 Well, I think that is it for now. 00:26:58.755 --> 00:27:01.795 But, again, take down my contact information. 00:27:01.795 --> 00:27:07.070 I know that right now questions aren't they might not be arising
